Whale shark
They are the biggest in the fish.They are 12 m to 13 m in total length.
Whale shark are allowed to hatch eggs in the belly.They lay eggs of about 300 in a one spawning.
And children of about 50 ~ 60cm total length is born. They are very similar to the parent.
They eat plankton and small fish mainly.
To swallow plankton,they open the big mouth on the tip of the square head while they swimming.
Whale shark is very docile sharks.
Hammerhead shark
Some hammerhead shark is a big more than 4m.
The shape of the head like a hammer .
How the swim they shake from side to side the head is unique.
There is a theory that in the form of a unique head to make it easier to find prey. It is the most widely held theory.
And,sharks have a "Rorenchini organ" to the top of the head.Sharks catch a weak currents emitted when the creature is to breathe.
Shark increase the "Rorenchini organ".Scientists think that is why hammerhead shark is increasing the head.
Tuna
The total length of the tuna is about 3m, and inhabits temperate around the world, the tropical sea.
Tuna spends swimming in the open ocean wide, most of the life.
In search of food, they have evolved to continue to swim all day and night.
So they will die if they stop.
And,they can swim while sleeping.
Capillary arterial and venous capillary is in contact with the opposite direction in muscle during fellow of tuna.Thanks to them Heat of the vein is transferred to the artery, body temperature is not easily released outside .
Due to the spindle-shaped less susceptible to resistance of the water, they can swim in about 80 kilometers per hour.
I envy.
Fins before the dorsal fin tuna can be folded in order to reduce the resistance of the water.
Put the fin in order to slow down when you turn
